Silver never claimed to be anything other than what he was, but the internets gifted him with abilities and sensibilities he never possessed. Nate Silver is a sports numbers dweeb first and foremost who found some fame and oodles of cash doing political shit. Nobody should be surprised that Silver is not much more than a publicity whore at this point. If he hires a climate denier or a dude like Pat Robertson who thinks gods talk right to him, why would anyone really care. Sam Wang does the numbers way better anyway.
